Session 8
We discussed what are art collectors’ intrinsic motivations. Why do people collect art? What is the difference between collectors, super collectors, and investors? Watch:

Ilan: Unless you’re Lenara.
Sebnem: “We are liberating art” ❤
Ilan: Onward!
Harold Thomas Davis III: Away from ROI — toward rate of autonomous innovation ROAI :)
Ilan: Nice one! ☝️
Judy: “That’s my sand!”
Ilan: I collected coke bottles too for a while.
Judy: I collected cavities from Coke
Mekyle: I used to collect old coins
Ilan: How many cavities you got, Judy?
Judy: Right now, 2.
Ilan: You’re way ahead of me.
Judy: I may tokenize them
Mekyle: Cavity coin
Ilan: If you tokenize them i will flip them for you.
Judy: haha
Ilan: My new thing: cavity flipping. No sand for you, Judy.
Mekyle: smh Judy
Judy: All that stuff you see in the slides ended up in my house. Just sayin’.
Mekyle: *clap* *clap* Thank you.
Ser Ste: This is the sand I collected and chosen.
Simon: And they want to “see it in their wallet”.
Ser Ste: more the propriety of my selection, IMO.
Simon: This is very important for them to see it and feel that it’s theirs.
Ilan: My wallet is full of sand right now.
Harold Thomas Davis III: More claps.
Ilan: I only like to watch casinos. It is just a movie to me.
Marko: I like to watch Sapolsky speak about casinos.
Judy: YES
Marko: casinos.
Judy: RARE
Ilan: DADA. The gateway drug to art.
Mekyle: I’m hooked.
Ser Ste: we are all addicted, Ilan.
Judy: Indeed, Felipe.
Ilan: CIA Art everyone!
Judy: I love CIA art. The abstract expressionists.
Sparrow: Yes, my favourite art movement.
Judy: J’adore.

Sebnem: Mekyle, we’re all learning together! As Felipe says: this has never been done before :)
Mekyle: Yeah, I have something to ask about the project I’m creating which is dedicated to helping artists.
Judy: Please do!
Ser Ste: Oh yeah! indigenous art we love.
Sebnem: Yes Harold — please share the link to this “African Fractals” :) I have a thing for Fractals. Exactly scale-free.
Beatriz: Felipe, what’s the name of the book?
Ilan: Reclamation?
Ser Ste: Very nice Harold, nice to meet you.
Sebnem: wow: https://arbitrarilyclose.com/2020/07/03/mathartchallenge-82-african-fractals/#jp-carousel-6013
Felipe: Beatriz — its here: http://nostatic.com/mor571/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/theCrit.pdf
Beatriz: Thank you!
Harold Thomas Davis III: Sebnem, I have a pdf i can send you but don’t tell Ron :)
Sebnem: :))
Ilan: It’s great to have you here!
Mekyle: Open source everything
Sebnem: :)) Open source has almost the same story as art :)
Judy: I like the sound of “for us”!
Felipe: My headphone is dying :/ it lacks intrinsic motivation :D
Sparrow: Lol
Judy: Felipe you have to scream at it.
Ilan: It’s a social organism. A healthy one with no cancer in it.
Sebnem: Interesting way to put it… with the existing focus on “growth”… it’s healthy only to a certain point. That’s why fractals, scale-free systems are important.
See you next time!
